"What the hell is it suppose to do!? Severus asks angrily.

"It doesn't do anything, it's a puzzle. See the challenge is to get all the sides the same color. Give it a try." Hermione tells him with a hidden smile on her face.

"Why?" He asks staring as always near absent with emotion.

"Because it's fun? And I asked nicely?"

"Yeah I don't think so Hermione. This is even worse than the time you introduced me to what was it bright light?" Hermione sighs deeply.

"It was a Light Brit, and don't lie I know you enjoyed it!" He shrugs his shoulders turning back to the papers on the desk ignoring the Rubik's cube.

"Well Harry managed to finish it in 12 minutes, I doubt you'd be able to beat that, so it's good thing you don't care. I'd hate to have you humiliate yourself." She tries to not smile too widely as she watches him grab it and start twisting it around, pure concentration and determination on his face.
